FC Porto training centre progresses: two years to completion | OneFootball

The new FC Porto High Performance Center (CAR) is expected to be ready in 2027, according to André Villas-Boas, who clarified the project's current phase during the press conference presenting the SAD's accounts, held this Wednesday at the Estádio do Dragão.

«The land has been purchased. Next is the licensing phase of the work. All indicators are positive. FC Porto will have to decide on the financial vehicle for the construction of the training center: seeking a partnership or using its own funds. The next step is licensing, and we will have a year and a half to two years of construction ahead of us,» revealed the president of FC Porto.

In May, FC Porto and the Gaia City Council signed a protocol for the construction of the infrastructure, and on September 22, the Dragons announced that there are already machines on site clearing the land.

The new CAR is expected to represent an investment of approximately 35 million euros and will be the new home for the main team, the B team, and the under-19s.

Located on a plot of about 30 hectares, the complex will include a mini-stadium with 2,000 seats, five pitches, a hotel with 42 rooms, an auditorium with 56 seats, a cafeteria, gym, spa, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy areas, and 200 parking spaces.

The current Olival training center, located less than a kilometer from the CAR, will be converted to accommodate the Dragons' youth teams.
